City Of Heroes Issue 16: Power Spectrum

Paragon Studios have unveiled the next major update for the MMO, City of Heroes, which will allow players the long-awaited ability to customise their powers.

With the introduction of Issue 16: Power Spectrum, players will be able to change the colours of their powers. The new character creator also allows players to move between Archetype, Powersets, Costumes and Character ID without losing progress. For characters that don’t use powers as much, Super Strength and Martial Arts heroes will receive new animations and Stone Armor and Necromancy will also get more customisation.

Selected Powersets are being made available to Archetypes who didn’t have access to them before, such as assault rifles and traps, which can now be used by Defenders. Difficulty can also be ramped us, as players will be able to tell the game to treat their character as a group.
